Quick update just so we have *something* going on on the front page.
First things first, TOS has a more detailed account of Robert’s recent face casting for the new Kryten mask. Good news: Andrea Finch and Howard Burden are CONFIRMED crew members. Interesting news: who are these Animated Extras newbies? Who votes we steal their lunch money and beat them up?
In other news, this is the last time I ever buy a DVD from Norman Lovett, the double dipping, miserable bastard.
And that is literally it. Please do excuse the slowness of things round here at the moment, but we’ll be all set and ready to go MENTAL as soon as everything starts kicking off in January. In addition to the incoming Specials we still have a crap load of magazine scans to add and, excitingly, episodes of old Grant Naylor radio sit-com Wally Who? Look forward to that or DIE, frankly.

>First things first, TOS has a more detailed account of Robert?s recent face casting for the new Kryten mask.
Yeah. Interesting little artical there. Not sure how I would cope with that. I remember putting on a rubber Darth Maul mask once (I say mask, it goes all over your head, so I’m not sure of the correct term) and I found it hard to breath. I had to take it off after a few seconds. I don’t think I suffer from claustrophobia, (If anything I like small enclosed spaces. Oo-er.) but for a short while there I could imagine something of what a sufferer might feel.
Imagine having your face covered in gloop for hours…

Heh. From what I’ve read, I’m not sure the new version would be worth it. For all the sparkles and bangles they’ve added they appear to have actually shortened his routine. (Unless it was a lot of meandering boring stuff maybe, but again, that’s all subjective isn’t it?) As a marketing strategy for first-time buyers it might work, but I’m doubtful. He isn’t really all that well known compared to other comedians is he? (Don’t get me wrong, I quite like they guy.) I.e. only fans would go for it and they’d buy it regardless of the package.

I think you mean Howard Burden, you cock tease.
>Norman Lovett, the double dipping, miserable bastard.
This might be the only double dip I’ve ever seen in which the prime selling point is that the feature doesn’t last as long as it did originally.
